Not a review, but I am curious what this test is about. Is it to ensure that the pattern does not get confused with the backslash that does not have to be (but it would not hurt to have one) there?

IOW, does

	RIGHT()
	{
		ChangeMe
	}

get processed just fine, and the above is to check the corner case where an unusual "\" on the same line as RIGHT does not break the funcline identification?

Thanks.
